Does you know the existance of cookie ? :)


I think that's the answer in this case.

Though, the question is valid.  There do exist web services
that put everything needed in the URL, so saving the URL
will work.  Some also have a timeout, so the same URL no longer
works 5 minutes later, which could explain a friend not
being able to use the URL because time has passed.

Those are really dumb, especially for web e-mail.  If someone
mails you a link, and you click on it, guess what shows up
in the site's log as a referer...
